How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 513,123,132?

Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the factors of larger numbers. To find the factors of the number 513,123,132, it is easiest to start from the outside in. Here's what we mean:

Outside in Factoring

We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table.

1 513,123,132

Next, we take the number 513,123,132 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 513,123,132 ÷ 2 = 256,561,566

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 256,561,566 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 256,561,566 513,123,132

Now, we try dividing 513,123,132 by 3.

513,123,132 ÷ 3 = 171,041,044

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 171,041,044 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 3 171,041,044 256,561,566 513,123,132

Let's try dividing by 4.

513,123,132 ÷ 4 = 128,280,783

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 128,280,783 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 3 4 128,280,783 171,041,044 256,561,566 513,123,132

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 513,123,132 ÷ 5 is a whole number, then 5 and your quotient are factors of the number.


Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.


What you will end up with is this table:

123461273146219292438876585,7571,171,5141,757,2712,343,0283,514,5427,029,08442,760,26185,520,522128,280,783171,041,044256,561,566513,123,132

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 513,123,132.
